Remarks & Notes 
”Adrian, there’s another train under me!”

After passing through the tunnel that is located under the east side of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Conrail Train TV-171, the Orange Blossom Special approaches the B&O interchange near downtown Philadelphia. The east steps to the Art Museum became an instant landmark when fictional character Rocky Balboa ascended them in a triumphant training sequence in the 1976 film Rocky. The controversial bronze statue of the character, which has been relocated several times, is currently located near the base of the steps.
